Simply the best
By TonyJuve1888, 04-01-2022

The most asked question in FUT: this guy or Mbappe? I have used both in Rivals and WL and let me start by saying the comparison seems almost unfair because Mbappe is just a broken card this year. The pace, the body type, the custom animations (all because he is a cover star) – they all contribute to this fact and are UNIQUE to him. However, concentrating on Ben Yedder: he’s just a different type of striker. This sounds like a criticism but it’s not meant as one: you almost don’t notice him if he isn’t scoring goals for you; unlike Mbappe who is a bit more involved in the game and creative. Luckily though, boy does he score goals. I’ve used him almost exclusively in Div 1/Elite rivals and WL and his record is 43 games, 58 goals, 12 assists (I think only 3 of those games are in Squad Battles as a sub). I play him with a Hunter alongside Fekir in a 4-1-3-2 formation with “get in behind” and “stay forward” instructions on and really my whole team is set up to service him – to put the ball at Ben Yedder’s feet in the final third and watch him (almost always) score.


His Pace is very very good and if you need more pace then you’re probably not playing the game right (no offense).

Dribbling is amazing, he can turn defenders inside out and with the 5* weak-foot it’s impossible for the very best defenders to know which way to show him.

His Shooting is quite simply INSANE, if he’s through on goal with either foot then aim for the corner and it’s going in – he’s honestly one of the most clinical strikers I’ve ever used in FUT and I found him more clinical than Mbappe. His attacking positioning is also very good for crosses/cut backs/general runs in behind – he feels like a real poacher at times.

His Physical is ok, average I’d say. You’d want to be hitting the high 80’s for stamina and to be honest he does feel a bit tired and less effective if a game goes to extra time (but he can last the 120 mins and still be decent). His jumping and heading are surprisingly good and he’s actually scored a few headers for me against much bigger and more powerful centre-backs.

I have found his passing to be a slight let-down – you expect it to be really decent but it’s just average and nothing special. I’ve seen people say you can use him at CAM and in my opinion you would been a Catalyst on his to do this effectively.


To conclude, there is no way you will be disappointed if you buy this card, he will score you a tonne of goals. The same can be said for Mbappe, he will be insane for you and will improve your team, no doubt. What swayed me on Ben Yedder so far is that he is 250k cheaper currently and I got exactly the same results in WL and rivals with him as I did with Mbappe. In fact, I played with the same formation and style with both and Ben Yedder has outscored Mbappe. It’s also important to note that I don’t use too many skill moves so 5* skills is not a must for me, I found 5* WF must more appealing this year. If you’re lucky enough to be able to afford both then your attack will quite simply be unstoppable.

The RAT leader is back

So i used this man at 10 chem, ST, in a 4-3-2-1 formation. I did him. Gave him number 69 and played 20 games of WL. He scored in every game and he was even good for 9 assist. He is just incredible. He is very fast and his dribbling is insane. Even his passing and physiqality is great. But then don't even get me started on his shooting. He scores everything. Long shots, he is just insane in the box, the 5 star WF is crazy an...

Ben Yedder is back

So i used this rat king in the weekend league and rivals elite div and im going to give you my honest opinion on this card.Pace: His pace was ok nothing special. If you put a hunter on this card you'll really notice the speed boost so that one is highly recommended. In some occasions i saw that players like Varane and Laxroix could easily catch up to him so i wouldnt advice using this card as a pace monste...
